Herbert(3)-Peace
Where do I find a contented life?
ECHO: WIFE
Will marriage bring this to me ?
ECHO: SEE
Can two ever complement one?
ECHO: DONE
But do opposites cement,still?
ECHO: WILL
Aye,will it hold fast from above?
ECHO: LOVE
Here,there,where does agape hide?
ECHO: INSIDE
Ah yes,but how will it draw near?
ECHO: HEAR
Perhaps for me,too great a task!
ECHO: ASK
Yes,yes but how,what words to pray
ECHO: SAY
Inspired by after and tribute to George Herbert's delightful form in his poem 'Heaven'
